Victoria Springs Campground

We run an RV-friendly volunteer program and we were asked to help refurbish this park. We were SHOCKED at how picturesque and quiet this park is, nestled in the heart of Nebraska's agriculture and beef industries. Here are some details:

Reservations: A handful of sites are reservable online but many are first come first served.
Campground layout: All grass and level sites. Bring blocks or pads if jacking into soft soil after the rains.
Site sizes: if you can drive it, you can fit in most of the lower numbered sites. Sites 14+ you can still fit a Class A but it will be tighter.

Site amenities:
Power: 50A - these sites were recently converted to 50A. Power is clean and pedestals are new mid-2021.
Water: Hose bibs are located throughout the park. Sites 3 & 4, Site 12, and Site 14 are closest to the water so you can easily fill while parked. That said, bring your 100' hose and you can reach most. We needed 150' at site 10.
Dump/Water: available at the entrance to the park. Outbound direction only.

Park amenities:
Bathroom shower: freshly painted and in decent condition. Centrally located.
Vault toilet: at the rear of the campground near the primitive and non-powered sites.
Horseshoe pits: 2 pair of horseshoe pits behind the bathroom.
Ball Field: play a friendly game of kickball but bring your own bases! Tons of gopher holes in the field so watch those ankles.
Day Use:
- accessible only by driving or walking to the other side of the park. The bridge between the campground and the park has been washed out and up for FEMA rebuild.
- a beautiful lake with rentable paddleboats. You can bring your own watercraft but there are limitations on horsepower. Kayaks? No problem!

Internet: Nebraska is served heavily by US Cellular but of the big three T-mobile has great access to the towers. On our T-mobile phones, we were pulling in 60mbps. Upload speeds though were laughable. If you are on Sprint with a Sprint SIM, somehow, users are not granted the same access so it's slower but at 1.5-3mbps. Upload is the same - horrible. AT&T and Verizon were wispy at best.

Places to visit: Kinkaider Brewery about 30 minutes away in Broken Bow was fantastic and the food was incredible. Definitely try their Scotch Egg appetizer and selection of burgers. The flatbread pizzas were great too.

We really loved working with this park and you'll love staying here. In the May/June timeframe - cottonwood trees were doing their thing and the fluffy seeds were clogging up our ACs. You need to clean them based on the sheer volume of cotton-esque seeds that were being released!

This park is the oldest recreation area in the state. We were here with a volunteer group giving the park a much needed facelift. The sights are spacious and level. There is plenty to do here - rent paddle boats, fish, hike, play baseball, basketball, horseshoes. There is a bathhouse with showers and toilets as well as new pit toilets around the park. There is a pavilion for cookouts if not camping. The park superintendent is an awesome lady with a love and passion for the outdoors.
